Public bug reported:

when opening a gtk print dialog (evince, firefox etc), the list of
printers is jumping up and down when many printers are listed. i am not
sure if this is related to cups reporting different number of printers
each time asked or is this some kind of a list sorting problem in gnome
when repeated sorting is not stable.

the behavior is quite annoying since it is very hard to select a
particular printer from such a list that changes so fast.

the attachment illustrates the issue.
